TLDR: Take the population ethics quiz here: https://mdickens.me/pop-ethics/
Population ethics is an oft-overlooked subfield within ethics. Many people hold views that they don't realize contradict each other, or that have strange implications that they wouldn't endorse if they thought about it more.
Not just that—population ethics is a BIG DEAL. A lot of ethical decisions hinge on how you think about changes in future populations....
Here are the quantitative goals we set for EA University of Bergen for the coming semester (our second active semester):
I am uncertain about which of these goals are the most important, but I presume that the goals related to influencing members to choose high-impact careers are the most valuable to aim for (e.g. making people apply for 80K coaching).
You may also find this article useful (aimed at student groups, but still relevant for city groups):

Thanks, Phillip! I'm looking forward to reading the article and appreciate learning from your experience in the Bergen group.
